I have always had faith in Dr. LaFaunce. More doctors should be like her.
I could not be more pleased with my experiences with her.
This Clinician does their research, is friendly and offers the help I need to maintain a healthy lifestyle I feel real blessed to be under their care.
Even with the long wait to see the doctor, she never rushes the time in our appointment.....which does explain why the wait to see her may be long. She give her patients the time they need......worth the wait to see her.

Couldn't ask for better care
Doctor and her staff have always been attentive (scoring 5s across the board) both during this visit and in all prior visits.
I'm more than satisfied that I will have the care and understanding I need, both in terms of the doctor, and any contacts with the nursing assistant. I was made to feel welcome, concerned about and encouraged to make any contact that I deemed necessary. One can't ask for a better start with a new system, and mist especially with a new primary care provider.
Always efficient, friendly, a good listener. She gave me options for treatment of issues. Answered all my wit. She is very intelligent.
I absolutely love My Doctor. She is simply lovely and easy to work with.
